What about the scenery? It feel so lively, you can feel the dread when walking into the poison forest, the tension when running in the deep jungle, the calm of those pond and the waterfall, the safety in hamlet town and city, it feel so much better than SW, which translate anything into "yep, that's an island".

Just got it today, i love every single part of hamlet, the combat, the ruin, and the trade mechamic, the enviroment remind me of home.
I think people expect too much and got carried away, it's an enjoyable experience for me. My first death is getting squished by the giant bird thing.
10/10 wouldn't mind if they add more content to spice things up.
